No you're fine, dilaudid is the strongest narcotic on the market, most of my patients beg for it. It's just way too strong for me.

Yes I've had breast augmentation without any pain pills.. I took aleve for 2 days then I dident need anything afterward... I suppose this surgery is a little more intense... But hopefully I won't need them

I mean while you are in the hospital, immediately post operative. I also had breast augmentation at an out-patient facility, it was easy peasy. When I got home after the sleeve surgery I took medication 2 times and that was it. The first day however was a different story. You probably have a higher pain tolerance than I do, you're braver than me girl!!

Honestly by the time I got home I felt like a champ. I started walking the day after I got home. The most pain I had was the gas, and the one thing that helps that is walking, But like I said the first day I felt like the little girl in the exorcist.

Oh no I don't want any narcotics! Just aleve

Aleve is an NSAID . You won't be able to have that after VSG!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
